I am planning to use a 3000 graphics card but not sure which is best

The case has no stock fans.

 

Save on memory by going with a 2x8GB kit. Put the savings into a 5600X cpu.

If you can increase your budget, an EVGA RTX 3060 gpu would be fine. However, I could only fit a GTX 1660 Ti in the list. You can decrease the price by going with the stock cooler, but for the Ryzen 5000 series I definitely would recommend going with an aftermarket cpu cooler instead.

And also I don’t think you need a separate cooler for now because I also use a i5-10400F processor with stock cooler and I didn’t got any heating issues.

The 10400F only supports PCIE 3.0, and B460 only supports 2666Mhz RAM.

Usually Gen4 isnt too uch of an issue, but the 6600 XT only uses an X8 link, which means that it runs at X8 PCIE 3.0, this can be a limiting factor. Especially in bandwidth heavy games like doom eternal.
